Australians are in love with hybrids because they want full-EVs, but are anxious about range. Most full-EVs have 400-600km of range already, and unless you're doing a long trip that's plenty for at least a couple of weeks of driving. And you can charge them at home, you don't need to use a fast-charger. I love hybrids, but you'll quickly wish you bought a full-EV (none were available when I bought my hybrids). Like F1 engineers say, the best way to improve a hybrid is to get rid of the petrol engine. But still a far better car than a straight petrol or diesel, performance-wise as well as with fuel.
